3. Theater made knife, WWII. 5 7/8” Blade is made from unknown metal with a false edge. Blade has no rust or pitting and is razor sharp. Handle appears to be leather washers. Guard and pommel are steel. Original scabbard is made of heavy leather with 9 rivets and no sewing. Scabbard is solid and snap strap works. Something has been scratched from the front of the sheath. This piece is very well made. It came from a member of the 7th Army Air Corps, stationed at Pearl Harbor at the end of the war. (Not Dec. 7, 1941). http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2888.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2889.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2890.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2891.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2892.JPG $115
4. IMPERIAL M-4, M-1 Carbine Bayonet. Excellent unsharpened. 95% original finish. Excellent handle, proper scabbard. http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2856.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2857.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2858.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2859.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2860.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2861.JPG $120
5. Consignment ~ Spanish American War Dagger (possibly older) appears to be of Spanish colonial descent, given the three sided blade, no hollow grind, deep cusp on the scabbard mounts. It is likely that this knife had a frog or a chain hanger. Blade is 12 ¼” long and does have some small pitting spots on both sides of the blade. Wood handle is wire wrapped. Brass “S” guard, ferrel and pommel cap. I’m guessing that the scabbard is pigskin over wood with brass mounts. Knife is 16 ¾” overall and very well balanced. There have been examples of this knife with American Eagles engraved on the blade. Subic Bay has been a host to the World’s Navies for over 400 years. Given this knives age of 100-200 years old, it is in excellent condition. And it is a very interesting piece of U.S. Military history. http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2832.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2833.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2834.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2835.JPG http://www.militaryknives.bizland.com/2836.JPG $650

handle was changed on a minty knife. It comes with the original scabbard
that is in excellent plus condition, just missing the elastic. Neither the

she was struck by a German Sub's Torpedo on 12 November 1942 at Fedala Bay,
